Disappointed Mexican Spectators Become Enraged.
    Failure on the part of the manager of a Campeche, Mexico, bull fight to fulfill his promises resulted in a general riot, during which many persons were badly injured. The manager had advertised fights with six fierce bulls and Spanish picadors were billed to perform the highest feats of the profession, including somersaults over the backs of the most savage animals that could be procured. Instead of the ferocious beasts, six tame bulls were introduced, and the animals ran away from the center of the ring when the fighters approached them. This enraged the spectators to a degree of frenzy. They tore down the seats and the very ring itself, assaulting the performers and the manager, who, it is claimed, was seeking flight with the proceeds of the tickets sold.
